Binge Free BestieShow Notes
Christmas and the holiday season is meant to be joyful—but if food guilt, binge urges, and family comments hijack the season for you, this episode is your permission slip to do things differently.
In this episode, Nic breaks down why this time of year feels so hard around food (hint: it’s not a lack of willpower), and shares therapist-approved tools to help you stay calm, grounded, and confident—without restriction, punishment, or another January reset.
This is real psychoeducation, nervous-system support, and compassionate guidance to help you actually enjoy the holidays… not just survive it.
